Barkee Laroux’s House of Love Domestic Animal Sanctuary has been in the planning stages for nearly two years, and is about to become a reality. We are committed to being a leader in animal sanctuaries that focuses exclusively on establishing a safe and comforting home for pets who need help the most, whether they be sick, elderly, abandoned, orphaned, and/or abused. The Sanctuary is a year-round inside-living facility that features 24/7 care.

Our goal is to provide these pets with the highest possible quality of life in a safe and secure forever home filled with love and kindness. Other services we offer will include providing loving perpetual care for those pets who have been left alone by owner loss and providing a safe and loving space for unadoptable shelter animals that have been left behind due to behavioral or other issues, such as age or medical issues.

The Barkee Laroux Board of Directors and trained volunteers are all lifelong animal lovers and bring an incredible wealth of experience to running every aspect of our sanctuary.

We offer emotional support to the community through educational programs on responsible cat and dog parenting, and will provide terminal illness and grief counseling to pet owners in need. Our goal is to help every family realize the amazing gift of love each animal member brings.

We have created partnerships with Well in the Desert and other organizations to enable us to provide mobile veterinary examinations and care to our homeless populations’ pet needs.
